Delphi Paint out Highlights!

What a great day nine members of the Wabash Valley Waterclor Society enjoyed together at the Delphi Paint out. Even a little morning rain did not dappen our spirits or halt our progress. We moved from outdoor spots to a pavilion in the Canal park and kept painting. Lunch at the Garden Gate Tea House (while the 1st Delphi Bacon Festival was happening) was yummy and fun. After lunch Rena Brouwer gave us a tour of the new gallery space in the Methodist church while the Delphi Opera House is being renovated. She invited Anita Werling, chair of the OHAB, and the delphi preservation society, to share with us the history of the Methodist church and progress on the Delphi Opera House. Be looking for some of the paintings at up coming WVWS exhibits!

Our Goals

1. To offer opportunities to learn new techniques through workshops, demonstrations, plein air paint outs, field trips, and media presentations.

2. To foster opportunities for artists to exhibit their work through shows both juried and non-juried, as well as other community local venues.

3.To publicize WVWS and other art events and opportunities through meetings, social media and traditional media.

4. To create accessible opportunities for young people to explore art.

5. To sustain a vibrant organization through active member participation in monthly meetings and collaborative leadership using individual talents.

Our History

The Wabash Valley Artist's Society began as the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. After much consideration, the board and members voted to expand the organization to include multi- media, acrylics, oils and pastels in addition to watercolor, effective January 2015. The former WVWS, now the WVAS, has a rich history in the Lafayette, Indiana region. Local artists, in search of information, an opportunity to share their interest in painting, and the chance to exhibit their work, formed the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. Many of the founding members were students of Barbara Gresham from the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette). The inspiration and challenges of her teaching were the catalyst that sparked the society’s formation.
